If the stationary phase and the compound being tested are both polar, will the retention factor (Rf) likely be smaller or larger than if a nonpolar compound was tested? Why? 1) The retention factor will likely be smaller as it has a smaller interaction with the stationary phase O 2) The retention factor will likely be greater as it has a smaller interaction with the stationary phase O3) The retention factor will likely be smaller as it has a greater interaction with the stationary phase 4) The retention factor will likely be greater as it has a greater interaction with the stationary phase
